Summer Reading 2014: Redeeming Love
Reviewed By: Esther W.

Rating: It was alright
In the riveting story about true love and redemption, Francine Rivers
weaves together the story about Angel, who was sold into prostitution at a
young age and has lost everything about her identity down to her very name to
men who want nothing more than to sleep with her.Guarding herself, she builds
walls, expecting only to be hurt by these men. Until one day, a man named Hosea
falls in love with her, but not like the other men. He loves her for nothing
else than who she truly is, looking past the identity both the men and herself
has given to her as a prostitute, but as someone beautiful both inside and out.
I wept. This book made me wept. Not just at the end, but the middle and even
the very beginning. Full. on. weeping. This book showed a love unlike any other.
Minor spoiler alert: This book got a little tiring at one point, because Hosea
would never give up on her, no matter what happened. He loved her despite her
past. She slept with her father, could never have children (a dream Michael
Hosea always wanted), and slept even with his brother. Yet, he gave his full
love, continuously, every moment.
I would recommend this to: It's based on the Biblical story of Hosea, but nevertheless a great read
for all.
